Hello Wilfried,

I have time only for glimpse answer. But I have teaching
MMC/SD to work with FAT last week, so some code fragments could help.

I have found next lines in some former RTEMS post.
I have not author name on hand to credit him so excuse me.
This is slightly updated, to correct function names etc.

Steps to mount and create file:

1. msdos_format("/dev/ramdisk0", NULL);
2. ide_part_table_initialize("/dev/ramdisk0");
3. binary fstab 

  fstab_t fs_table[] = {
    {
      "/dev/ramdisk0", "/mnt/ramdisk0",
      &msdos_ops, RTEMS_FILESYSTEM_READ_WRITE,
      FSMOUNT_MNT_OK | FSMOUNT_MNTPNT_CRTERR | FSMOUNT_MNT_FAILED,
      0
    }
  };

4. rtems_fsmount( fs_table,
                  sizeof(fs_table)/sizeof(fs_table[0]),
                  NULL);

5. creat("/mnt/ramdisk0/file1", S_IREAD | S_IWRITE);

The examples with already working MMC/SD driver can be taken from my homepage

Look at file mmcsd_rtems.c for examples.
